I made this one to show off the quirky rear end set up. A lot of axle twist, and squat. Also, stripped wheel hexes, 20% drag brake working very well, and reverse not working at all.

Looks like fun to me. I like running through the woods. So many different options and things to climb on and over.

clodstall · 08-19-2006, 02:33 PM

cool, but i dont like the tires being backwards

. Have u seen a good diffrence with them backwards?

EeePee · 08-19-2006, 08:53 PM

Actually yes, there is a good bit of a difference in traction with them mounted backwards.

TwistedCreations · 08-20-2006, 04:46 PM

Thanks toomany, they're 'Pede driveshafts, two females, and one male per side.

TC, it does have a lot of squat, even just cruising along. I think it's the link geometry, and a combo of not enough link seperation axle twist wrap whatever, but I'm not sure.

I changed it before I started editing this video of mine. Squat is all but gone now. I'll make another video maybe doing the same things showing the difference... maybe. I doubt it.

Eeepee, looks good, a few more tweeks and she will be a comp rig.

I just won a chassis from Kaetwo, so I will be studying your build up quite a bit.

EeePee · 08-22-2006, 03:07 PM

Cool Unimoo, you're a lucky guy winning that thing. The last few posts of the build thread are when it's at it's best. Cough you might want to use your upper link axle mount servo tray things cough.

Cool video, got to love the drag brake feature on the Mamba! Really like that chassis.
